Kim Kardashian marks Veterans Day by sharing throwback snaps from her surprise 2014 USO visit aboard aircraft carrier in Abu Dhabi
Members of the United States Armed Forces, both past and present, were honored on Wednesday, November 11, as part of the federally recognized holiday, Veterans Day.
And Kim Kardashian took time out to pay tribute to all of the U.S service members by sharing a couple of throwback photos taken during a trip she took to visit the troops aboard the aircraft carrier USS San Diego that was stationed in Abu Dhabi in November 2014.
Kardashian’s USO visit with the troops was part of a morale-boosting tradition, by way of celebrity visits, made famous by the likes of such entertainers such as Bob Hope, Marilyn Monroe and Elizabeth Taylor.

The reality star, who had turned 34-years-old the month prior to these photos being taken, can be seen standing in a classic selfie pose alongside three service members, with at least two of them being from the U.S. Navy.
She simply wrote: ‘Happy Veterans Day,’ in the caption of the first image.
On this day, she opted to wear a pair of tailored nude trousers with a khaki cropped shirt that she tied in a bow in the front to highlight her famous womanly curves.
The ensemble was rounded out with a pair of stiletto heels, bold red lipstick, and her dark tresses styled long and sleek, back off her ears with a part in the middle.

Kardashian, who’s tour included an inspection of the tanks below deck, described the pre-Thanksgiving visit as amazing.
‘Just went to visit the US Troops at Port Khalifa for an early Thanksgiving surprise!’ she tweeted back on November 24, 2014, as reported by the New York Daily News.
‘Such an amazing experience! So thankful for all they do.’
The multi-media starlet’s visit was surely a welcome treat for the hard-working men and women, who had just returned from South Africa at the time.
